Chapter 3 Are You Willing?

After a while, the food was put on the table, compared to Lanxing, the food here was really shabby, but for Meng Shi, especially for Li Qun, the food ordered in a few days was already rich, Zeng Li was actually a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't know why Li Qun prepared such a good meal today.

"Eat." After the meal was served, Li Qun took the lead in sandwiching a piece of roasted mutton and put it in the clay bowl in front of Zeng Nei.

"Uncle Xie." Zeng Li nodded slightly, and then moved his chopsticks to eat.

The atmosphere of the two is actually very weird, two people who are the closest people sit and eat together, but there is no dialogue, only the sound of chopsticks and food utensils colliding, as if neither of them knows anyone.

After about a stick of incense, the two remained silent, Zeng Li didn't think it was strange, after all, in the memory of the original owner, he and Li Qun had been in this state when they ate, and Li Qun's wine gourd had been filled with Jing wine by Xu Ergu, and at this time he took a big sip and suddenly spoke.

"Zhongping, you were already weak half a year ago, do you want to consider going out for a while?" Li Qun's voice was not loud, but his expression was a little complicated, and a pair of eyes that were always bloodshot due to his alcoholism all day long looked at Zeng Li.

Zeng Li was obviously stunned, and the hand holding the chopsticks was silently put down.

To tell the truth, he was ready to go, and the sooner the better, although he still didn't know what his mission was, but if he stayed in Handling, he had to pretend to be the original owner, and he was under the gaze of many eyes, which always made him feel unsafe.

Another point, he knows that he is not the real Zeng Li, using this identity to face others, Zeng Li always feels that he is cheating, deceiving other people's emotions, whether he is Li Qunyi or Xu Ergu, their emotions are not aimed at themselves, this feeling of dove occupying the magpie's nest makes Zeng Li very uncomfortable, he has long been thinking in his heart about how to leave Handling reasonably.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Qun actually took the lead in requesting.

"The eldest husband always has to travel, you can't be by my side for the rest of your life." Seeing Zeng Li's hesitation, Li Qun thought he was unwilling, gritted his teeth, and said solemnly to Zeng Li.

"I'm white, uncle, let me think about it." Zeng Li saw that Li Qun was already a little anxious, so he hurried back, but he didn't agree, because that would be too abnormal, as if he was in a hurry to leave.

"Hmm." Li Qun responded, and his expression returned to calm, but his eyes became extremely complicated, and he did not have the slightest joy for Zeng Li's promise, on the contrary, he was a little melancholy.

After asking, Li Qun no longer moved his chopsticks, just kept drinking, and when Zeng Li finished eating, Li Qun's wine gourd was empty again, Li Qun gave Xu Ergu a few knife coins, and asked for another gourd of wine in her cannibalistic gaze, and the two left.

When he returned to Wusheng, it was almost time, Zeng Li returned to his room and prepared to sleep for a while, while Li Qun also walked towards his room.

Although he is the owner of the outer door, Li Qun's room is no different from others, as soon as he walked to the door, Li Qun suddenly stopped, and his hand unconsciously touched his waist, and there was a bronze dagger hidden in his waist.

"Sheep seniors, it's me." A man's voice suddenly came from the house, listening to this familiar voice, Li Qunfang relaxed his vigilance, pushed open the door, and walked in, all sheep are Li Qun's words.

As soon as I entered, I saw a man sitting on a stool in the middle of the room, he looked to be no more than thirty years old, nearly eight feet long, wearing a long white robe, which was remarkably simple and clean, but if you looked closely, you would find that the material of the robe was actually silk.

Huiguo silk, Huisi is both light and tough, famous far and wide, and even in the Central Plains Nine Kingdoms, Huisi is very popular, but this does not mean that in Huiguo, ordinary people can wear silk, on the contrary, in Huiguo, good silk can only be used by some princes, ministers and nobles, and can wear silk robes, this man is naturally not simple

But what is even more remarkable is that his face is covered with a white silk strip of eyes, which is very mysterious.

Seeing Li Qun enter the door, he immediately stood up.

"Disturb rashly, seniors don't blame." The man spoke unhurriedly and gently, bowing slightly as he spoke.

"Lord Chiefwei has come to this point, and he has never greeted him from afar, how can he blame." Li Qun still had that rigid expression, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

The person who came was named Xiao Yun, who was the chief guard of Wusheng, in charge of the internal and external gates.

"The sheep seniors are still called by their names, and the general guard and the general guard are shouting, which seems to be raw." Xiao Yun smiled, and his tone was sincere.

Xiao Yun has been in Wusheng for seven years, while Li Qun has been in Wusheng for more than 20 years, and Xiao Yun was Li Qun's subordinate when he first came.

"Okay, Zisheng, you came today, what are you looking for me?" Li Qun was no longer polite, grabbed a chair and motioned to Xiao Yun at the same time, and the two of them sat down together.

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Yun spoke.

"What has happened in the city recently, the predecessors have heard about it." Xiao Yun didn't sell it, and said as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Ghosts cry in the middle of the night, and people's hearts are panicked." Li Qun was faint.

"This is not an uncommon thing, and the two times that happened were also solved by our outer door."

"If it's one or two, it's not surprising, but do you know that since the beginning of this month, the inner gate has also dealt with two cases, and together, there have been four cases in Handling City this month, isn't this too frequent?" Speaking of this, Xiao Yun's tone had become serious, and although he couldn't see his eyes, he could feel that Xiao Yun's expression had become solemn.

"You doubt...... Manned? Li Qun also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, and Yin Bai Xiao Yun was suspicious.

"Otherwise, it's too much of a coincidence." Xiao Yun looked at Li Qun and continued in a serious tone.

"Moreover, the new king will not be long after he succeeds to the throne......" Xiao Yun didn't say any more, but Li Qun had already thought of something, and his flat face became a little more solemn.

"It's white, the outer gate will be more vigilant in recent days, and I will go to patrol the night in person every night."

"That's hard work." Xiao Yun gave Li Qun a slight salute.

"Where the duty lies." Li Qun nodded, and the two fell silent for the time being, just when Xiao Yun wanted to stand up and leave, Li Qun spoke.

"Zisheng, I want Zhongping to leave Wusheng." Li Qun said in a heavy tone as if he had made up his mind.

Xiao Yunyin was stunned for a moment, but then he blew up Li Qun's meaning.

"It's really dangerous to do something that you don't do, but ......" Xiao Yun looked at Li Qun, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and finally he said it.

"Are you willing?"

Li Qun was silent, in fact, he thought about letting Zeng Li officially join Wusheng, but every time he thought of his experience over the years and the dangers he had experienced, he was afraid that Zeng Li would stay here.

"I can't be too selfish." After Li Qun finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Hey! When he wants to leave, I won't stop him. Xiao Yun sighed lightly.

"I'm tired." Li Qun's tone was very light, as if he had lost his strength.

"By the way, I will drop a person from the inner gate to come to you in a few days, the inner gate has to guard the palace and the inner city, and there are not enough people, I can only send a relatively good person over, and the rest will have to work hard for you." After speaking, Xiao Yun stood up, bowed slightly to Li Qun, and left.

Zeng Li was really tired in the past two days, both physically and mentally, very tired, until it was dark, it was the night bell in the city, which woke him up, and as soon as he got up, Zeng Li heard a knock on the door.

No need to ask, the only one who can knock on his door is his uncle Li Qun.

"Uncle." Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door, Zeng Li saw Li Qun standing straight in front of the door.

Li Qun had already changed into that pure black lifeless suit.

"Let's go, continue to go on the night patrol with me tonight." Originally, the lifeless night patrol mission was a three-day round, and it stands to reason that Zeng Li should rest tonight, but when he saw Li Qun greeting him, Zeng Li didn't say anything, went back to the house and changed out of the clothes in the morning, put on lifeless clothes and went out with Li Qun.

As soon as he went out, Li Qun handed Zeng Li a small baggage, Zeng Li opened it and saw that there were seven or eight baked cakes inside, although Zeng Li said that he had a big meal in the morning, but in the past for so long, he was indeed hungry, and he didn't say a word and picked up one and bit it, only to find out that there was meat filling in the baked cake, although the taste was far from the meat sandwich bun in Huaxia, but it was also a delicacy.

On the blue star, don't look at the normal university that Zeng Li applied for, and it is the history department, but he is by no means a weak scholar, on the contrary, he is very strong in physical fitness, and in Mengshi, the original owner has been practicing boxing and feet with Li Qun since he was a child, and after inheriting his body, Zeng Li's physique is better, and he eats a lot of strength and nature, and eats while walking.

"How's it going?" Seeing that Zeng Li had almost eaten, Li Qun asked.

Li Qun's inquiry was naturally the incident he said in the morning, Zeng Li saw him asking, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in a somewhat complicated tone: "I listen to my uncle." ”

Zeng Li thought about this matter after returning to the house, to be honest, combined with the memory of the original owner, Zeng Li still didn't think about why Li Qun wanted to let him leave, although the reason why he wanted to let him travel was very reasonable, but in fact, Zeng Li knew that although Li Qun was not good at words, but he had a very heavy feeling for Zeng Li, he should not want Zeng Li to leave in his heart, and Mengshi is not as good as Blue Star, the traffic is very underdeveloped, and the best means of transportation is just a carriage, and it is simple to travel, but if you want to come back, you don't know what year and month it will take.

However, since Li Qun proposed it, Zeng Li didn't care too much, and simply pushed the boat down the river, anyway, he was going to leave sooner or later.

"Okay, good ......" Seeing that Zeng Li agreed, Li Qun was stunned at first, and then just said two good words in a row, and then stopped talking.

Although it was summer, the night breeze in Handling was still a little cool, and a gust of wind blew, which made Zeng Li feel a little cold.

Li Qun and Zeng Li were patrolling the outer city, the two were still speechless, and after walking for a while, Li Qun was probably a little tired, and sat down on a big rock on the side of the road, Zeng Li stood beside him.

Li Qun took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it and opened it to be a few baked cakes, Li Qun took out one, opened his mouth to eat, and took out the wine gourd on his waist while eating, and took a sip.

Zeng Li glanced at it with a side light, and suddenly found that Li Qun's baked cakes were not filled. At that moment, an indescribable feeling surged into Zeng Li's heart, which may contain emotion, but also guilt and shame.

I'm not actually Zengli! He is stealing everything that belongs to Zeng Li and is about to leave, which will undoubtedly hurt his relatives again.

But on second thought, he was relieved again.

Zeng Li is dead, and his arrival at least makes the death that Li Qun has to experience become a life and a separation. And his own departure can make him no longer deceive the relatives of the original owner.

Just thinking like this, Li Qun suddenly spoke.

"Come with me to the temple in the morning to ask for a blessing, and then from the cloudy day onwards, you don't have to patrol the night anymore, think about where you are going, money or something, I will prepare it for you." Li Qun instructed lightly.

Zeng Li nodded, Li Qun's temple is in the south of the city, it was newly built half a year ago, not only for one god, but also for the gods of Huidi, every time someone travels far away, his family will go to the temple to pray for a blessing

Li Qun grabbed the wine gourd and poured it again, then stood up and continued to patrol the night with Zeng Li.

Tonight, Li Qun walked very slowly, as if as long as he didn't go fast, the night would be extended, in fact, Li Qun was selfish, although he had decided to send Zeng Li away, but he still wanted him to accompany him for another night, Zeng Li was raised by him, twenty years, how could he be willing.
